I´ve seen all the other versions and either they are wrong or too complicated or
both.this is how you have to play it with one guitar

All the leaves are brown   and the sky is gray

                                    
 
I've been for a walk       on a winter's day

                                   
I'd be safe and warm    if I was in L.A.

                                    
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day


------ flute ------

                            (2X)

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
